I currently have a 25' cable that I planned on running into the attic, over and down to my wall plate. Instead I have gone through the base board saving considerable space. Should I get a shorter cable (12' or so) or would just coiling the 25 be fine? In other words, at what point will the signal start to hurt?
thanks!
by the way the cables are HDMI 1.3a Category 2 Certified Silver-Plated Copper CL2 Rated (For In-Wall Installation) Cable (22AWG) - 25ft (Gold Plated)
$40 I paid for them. Not bad as they charge you that much for a 6' cable at your area big chain...
You will be fine with the 25' Cable. It is actually at 25' that you are recommended to switch from HDMI to Fiber Optics. The general rule of thumb in the field is under 25', go HDMI for better signal quality, but anything over and you need to run Fiber Optics, which is good for up to 495' without any signal degredation.
